Sorry everyone.. I've been positing here thinking my date would be July but I just got a call from my surgeons office giving me a date of August 5th. Hopefully I can still follow you all and your journey!

July 30 is my date! Just made July by a nose. Insurance took less than 2 weeks for the approval all classes done. I also posted in the over 65 group as I'm one the of senior citizens. I just can't wait.

July 30th for me in Memphis, TN.

We are sisters, my date is July 30 also. I'm excited to be finally arriving at the end of the hoop jumping and getting to a surgery date! Good luck and keep in touch. I have to start the presurgery diet the 15th. I'm already eating pretty much clean now.

You're welcome to keep following, having a date is everything, so congrats. Even the lady from the doctor's office called and said congratulations you have been approved and you get July 30, like I won the lottery or something. Actually, I feel like I did as I've been at this for what seems like forever.

Thanks! And I've been getting the same reaction when I tell others too! Everyone is saying congrats lol. I told the nurse at my dermatologist office, and my foot doctor's office and they reacted the same way as you described, like if I won something.

I don't know if it is good or bad that I am not required to do a more restrictive presurgery diet. I have to lose 5 pounds before the 29th and liquids only for the last day.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
